About this episode
The episode discusses the evolution of full motion video games and their blend of film and interactivity with insights from creators Claire L. Evans and Sam Barlow.
The full motion video games of the 90s never truly delivered on the promise of creating exciting interactive films, but games like Blippo+, Her Story, Telling Lies, and Immortality manage a sort of alchemy that combines movie magic with the interactivity of video games. Creators Claire L. Evans and Sam Barlow talk about the past and present of the medium, and what (if anything) makes a good FMV.
